* ARTHUR AMORYy the second son of James Sullivan
and Mary Copley (Greene) Amory, was born in Boston,
February 6, 1841. He fitted for college at Epes S. Dix well's
school in Boston. In the summer of 1860 he visited Green-
land with a scientific expedition from Williams College, a
trip full of interesting and valuable experience.
In September, 1863, Amory went to New York to engage
in the dry-goods commission business, as salesman with
Messrs. Slade and Colby. On the dissolution of this firm,
in 1866, he became a partner in the house of Upham, Tucker
and Co., a branch of the old Boston house of the same name,
established in March, 1833, under the name of Searle and
Upham. In June, 1877, he returned to Boston; his firm
later became Dana, Tucker and Co., and, in January, 1896,
Amory, Browne and Co. He was at one time president
of the Nashua Manufacturing Co., the Jackson Co., and
the Indian Head Mills, at Cordova, Ala.
"While in New York, in 1865, Amory was one of the
founders of the Harvard Club of that city; he also belonged
to the Thursday Evening Whist Club, the Union Club, and
the New York Club. In Boston he was a member of the
Somerset Club, the Wednesday Evening Club, the Club
of Odd Volumes, and the Eastern Yacht Club. He was
Chief Marshal of his class at the 25th anniversary in 1887.

LUTHER GUSTAVUS BARRETT, son of Luther
Gustavus and Margaret (Ridley) Barrett, was born in
Watertown, Mass., December 5, 1838. Part of his early
BARRETT 5
years were spent on his uncle's farm in Sturbridge, greatly
influencing his subsequent life. He fitted for college at the
Watertown High School. In September, 1862, he entered
Newton Theological Institution at Newton Centre, Mass.,
graduating in 1865. During the last year he spent some
three months in the army of the James, in the service of the
U. S. Christian Commission. September 17, 1865, he was
ordained at Watertown, Brother Lecompte assisting in the
services. But, though a good pastorate and a college
professorship in New Testament Interpretation invited,
broken health compelled rest. Most of that autumn was
passed in the South, and a large part of the next year, 1866,
in travel in Europe. Health restored, in December, 1867,
he accepted a pastorate in Weston, Mass., and subsequently
in Winchester, Mass.; at Berean Church, New York City;
South Abington (Whitman), Mass., and Concord, N. H.
During the year 1885-1886 he was professor of Biblical Inter-
pretation and Classics in Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C.
Then followed pastorates in Bristol, R. I.; Lowell and
Milford, Mass. In September, 1894, he became president
of Jackson College, Jackson, Miss., which office, after seven-
teen years' strenuous w^ork and successful administration,
he resigned September 30, 1911. He has returned to
Massachusetts, and resides at 6 Sacramento St., Cambridge,
while his son, Herbert, finishes his last year at the Harvard
Law School; intending thereafter, without further public
responsibility, to enjoy a quiet home in Melrose, at 100
Vinton St. His summer address is Oak Bluffs, Mass.

6 CLASS OF 'SIXTY-TWO — H.U.
* WILLIAM FRANCIS BARTLETT, son of Charles
Leonard and Harriett (Plummer) Bartlett, was born at
Haverhill, Mass., June 6, 1840. His family moved to
Boston soon after his birth; and he fitted for college there
at the private school of W. H. Brooks. April 17, 1861, he
enlisted as private in the Fourth Battalion Massachusetts
Volunteer Militia, stationed at Fort Independence, Boston
Harbor. On the formation of the Twentieth Regiment,
Bartlett was commissioned as captain, July 10. He was
at the battle of Ball's Bluff, October 21. April 24, 1862,
while before Yorktown, he received a wound in the left
knee which necessitated the amputation of the leg. In
September, 1862, he took command of Fort Briggs, Pitts-
field, Mass., where the Forty-ninth Regiment was assembling.
November 10 he was chosen colonel of the regiment; on
the departure of the regiment for New Orleans in January,
Bartlett rode down Broadway with his crutch strapped to
his back. In the assault on Port Hudson, May 27, 1863,
he was again wounded, this time in the left wrist. After
the mustering-out of the Forty -ninth (a nine-months'
regiment), Bartlett raised the Fifty-seventh, which he took
to Virginia in April, 1864. In the battle of the Wilderness,
May 6, he was again slightly wounded. June 22, 1864, he
was made a brigadier-general, and in July took command
of a brigade in the Ninth Corps, then before Petersburg.
At the assault of July 30, after the explosion of the mine,
Bartlett was taken prisoner. He was in captivity two
months; from disease caused by the hardships of this period
he never fully recovered. In June, 1865, he returned to
active duty, taking command of the First Division of the
Ninth Corps; but on July 14 the division was broken up
and his active service was over. On being mustered out
July 16, 1866, he received the commission of major-general
by brevet, to date from March 13, 1865.
On returning to civil life, Bartlett engaged at first in
the manufacture of paper at Dal ton, and in the manufacture
of iron at the Pomeroy Iron Works at West Stockbridge.
Later he became president and general manager of the
Powhatan Iron Works at Richmond, Va.; and for some
years he spent his winters in Richmond and his summers
BARTLETT 7
at his home in Pittsfield, until his faiHng health forbade
the change. He gave up business and led a very quiet
life, dechning, in 1875, both the Republican nomination
for governor and the Democratic nomination for lieutenant-
governor. His health was constantly failing; and he died
at his home in Pittsfield, December 17, 1876.
In the years following the war, as during the four years
of conflict, Bartlett strove for the restoration of the Union.
He preached peace, good- will, the rebuilding of the shattered
fabric on the firm foundations of mutual respect and con-
fidence and loyalty to the Republic. His was the high
statesmanship that looked forward, that recognized the
best qualities of men, even of men who had erred, and
sought to use them for the restoration of order, the revival
of prosperity, and the solution of the numerous and diffi-
cult problems, — political, social, and financial, — involved
in the restoration of the Southern States to their place in
the Union. At the dedication of Memorial Hall, June 24,
1874, he uttered these solemn words of warning: "Take
care lest you repel by injustice or suspicion, or even by
indifference, the returning love of men who now speak with
pride of that flag as *our flag.'" The next Spring, at the
centennial celebration at Lexington, after renewing his
appeal, and paying a tribute to the good faith and loyalty
to the reunited country of the leaders of the Southern
cause, he added : " These are the men by whom and through
whom you must restore the South."

daughter of Robert Pomeroy, of Pittsfield. Mrs. Bartlett
died February 16, 1909.

J. S. and G. F. Richardson, was admitted to the bar October

In 1899 Beard gave up his parish at Dover, after twenty-
three years' service, and became chaplain of the Chapel of
the Good Shepherd, on Blackwell's Island, New York City.
He regards his work at Dover as eminently successful in
every respect. In 1882 he wrote: "My life is the quiet
and satisfactory life of a parish minister. I have done
BLAKE 9
nothing particularly to distinguish myself; and, on the
other hand, I have never been caught in any especially
disagreeable act." In December, 1911, he writes: "I am
finding my last days my best days. I am very well physi-
cally, and constantly busy about my work, which I enjoy
very much, and am consequently very happy and con-
tented." Four of his children are actively engaged in
educational and charitable work. He lives at 244 E. 105th

Evanston, 111., serving both churches until 1897, when he
resigned from the Chicago church, retaining that at Evans-
ton, which he has now served continuously for nearly twenty

long ministry with them has been one of very great happiness
to me. About seven years ago my people built a stone
chapel notable in this neighborhood for its solid construc-
tion and its very beautiful architecture." While minister-
ing to the two churches, Blake was employed for a time by
Morgan and Wright, manufacturers of rubber tires, as super-
intendent of their factory. In Chicago he took an active

During these years he delivered several courses of lectures
on scientific subjects. In 1876 he was appointed by the
Hawaiian government honorary commissioner to the Cen-
tennial Exhibition at Philadelphia, to report on the geology
and mineralogy of the kingdom. In June, 1880, he made
a second visit to the Hawaiian Islands, and made an ex-
ploration of the volcanoes Kilauea and Mauna Loa. For
several years after his return he practised law in Boston,
at the same time pursuing his scientific studies, and pub-
lishing articles on scientific subjects. He made a special
study of the laws of growth in the human body, as influ-
enced by physical exercise and affected by race. He was
also much interested in photography, in which he became
highly skilful. In July, 1886, he was appointed consul in
Boston for the Republic of Guatemala.
In 1888 Brigham went to Honolulu, to collect material
for a history of the Islands. In 1890 he became director
of the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum of Polynesian
Ethnology and Natural History. To this work he has de-
voted himself ever since; and under his care the museum,
"from a building of two small rooms and a picture-gallery,
has more than quadrupled in size, and by its collections,
scientific works, and publications, has attained an honorable
place among the museums of the world." In 1896 Brigham
went round the world a second time, making a study of
ethnological museums, and marine zoological stations.
This spring he has made a third visit to Europe for the same
purpose.
He writes, March 9, 1912: "As to the biography, there
is nothing, except that I have been writing up the con-
tents of this museum until my eyes have given out, and I
am coming to Boston to find an oculist. I hope to sail
for Europe before May 1."
Brigham's publications have been numerous, varied.

Port Royal, S. C, as government superintendent of aban-
doned plantations, under General Saxton. In September,
1864, he entered the Theological Seminary at Princeton.
The long summer vacation of 1865 was spent at Charleston
and Port Royal, investigating the condition of the freedmen,
under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Freedmen 's Relief
Association. May 15, 1866, he was licensed to preach the
Gospel by the Plymouth Association of Ministers at Ply-
mouth; and on October 1 he entered the Theological Insti-
tute of Hartford, Conn., where he completed his preparatory
studies in June, 1867. February 13, 1868, he was ordained
and installed as pastor over the Trinity Congregational
CARTER 15
Church in Neponset, Mass.; was dismissed by council
July 1, 1869; preached during the four closing months of
that year at Rockville, Conn; and was settled at Great

Church through that year. In January, 1873, he was

post of city missionary and secretary of the Lawrence City
Mission, a society established in 1859, but reorganized in
1885 on the principles of the Charity Organization Societies
of other cities.
"This change of work introduced me to an entirely new
outlook upon the world's needs, and brought me into inti-
mate relations with social workers throughout the country.
I have served two years as an overseer of the poor; was
chairman of the committee of personal relief in 1890 when
a disastrous cyclone swept a portion of the city; was for
two years chairman of the Industrial Committee of the
State Association of Congregational Churches of Massa-

tional Club; am chaplain at the Lawrence jail; am an
agent of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children; as chairman of the Lawrence Sani-
tary Milk Committee I have had a study made of the
infant mortality of the city, and have seen a reduction of
the death rate procured in part by the work of the com-
mittee in educating the public as to the importance of
keeping milk clean, and in teaching mothers how to care for
their babies. In these various positions I have felt with
increasing force the value of genuine Christianity, and have
seen, as I did not when I was a pastor, the opportunity of
the true minister of Christ.
"In addition to the regular routine of an oflfice which under-
takes to relieve distress, advise in difficulty, and plan for
the conquering of poverty, I have taken an interest in and
lent my influence to the advancing of various social
16 CLASS OF 'SIXTY-TWO — H.U.
reforms. The restriction of child labor, the shortening of
the hours of employment of women in manufacturing and
mercantile establishments, the securing of one day of rest
in seven for working men, the suppression of intemperance,
and similar topics of legislation, I have advocated before
committees of the Greneral Court."

* CHARLES POLLEN FOLSOM, son of Rev. Nathaniel
Smith and Ann Wendell (Penhallow) Folsom, was born in
Haverhill, Mass., April 3, 1842. Before entering college
he lived in Gharlestown, and in Meadville, Penn., afterwards
in Jamaica Plain and Goncord, Mass. He fitted for
college at Phillips Exeter Academy. In June, 1862, he went
to Port Royal, S. G., and served three years as superintend-
ent of plantations, the first season in the employ of the
United States; in the Spring of 1865, he acted as general
superintendent for the Government on Edisto Island and
at Georgetown.
In July, 1865, Folsom returned to Boston and began
the study of medicine. After a voyage to San Francisco
and back for his health (he returned before the mast), he
began practice in Boston. He served as assistant in the
private oflBce of Dr. Henry I. Bowditch, and in 1869 was
at the Gity Hospital. He was assistant at the McLean In-
sane Asylum in 1872-1873; spent a year in study in Europe;
and was appointed in September, 1874, Secretary of the
State Board of Health, of which Dr. Bowditch was Ghair-
man. After another visit to Europe, to study the subject
of sewage-disposal, he was appointed on a commission, with
GILBERT 27
two engineers, to report a plan for the disposal of sewage of
Boston; their recommendations were adopted. He was
also one of three experts appointed by the National Board
of Health to report upon the sanitary conditions of Memphis
and the means to suppress yellow fever. From 1877 to
1882, and from 1885 to 1888, he was Lecturer at the Harvard
Medical School, on Hygiene and on Mental Diseases; from
1882 to 1885, Assistant Professor of Mental Diseases. In
May, 1880, he became a member of the State Board of
Health, Lunacy and Charity; and he was, for a short
time, a member of the National Board of Health. He
was one of the visiting physicians of the Boston City
Hospital, and consulting physician to the Adams Nervine
Asylum. In 1896 he was one of the commissioners ap-
pointed to investigate the charitable and reformatory
institutions of Massachusetts. For more than thirty
years he pursued his profession in Boston as a general
practitioner, devoting himself especially to the treatment
of mental disease.
Folsom served as overseer of Harvard University from
1891 to 1903. He was a Fellow of the American Academy
of Arts and Sciences. From 1903 to 1905 he was president
of the Harvard Medical Alumni Association.
During the last few years of his life, Folsom gradually
became more and more of an invalid. He died at a hospital
in New York, August 20, 1907, soon after his return from a
visit to England. An account of his activities as a physician,
written by Dr. J. J. Putnam, may be found in the Proceed-
ings of the American Academy, Vol. XLIV.
Folsom married. May 12, 1886, Martha Tucker Wash-
burn, daughter of William R. P. Washburn, of Boston,
and sister of our classmate.
SHEPARD DEVEREUX GILBERT, son of Samuel

few years later he was engaged in mining in North Carolina.
Returning North, he lived for some years in Salem and
Boston, passing several summers in Western North Carolina
and one season on Snake River, Idaho. In 1889 he went
to New York, and was for three years editorially connected
with the Lockwood Press of that city. After December,
1891, he was for a time editor of the Engraver and Printer,
Boston. Since 1892 he has lived at Salem, spending his
summers in his cottage at Jaffrey, N. H. "In the early
part of 1899 I passed several months in the South, revisiting
my former home on the Sea Islands of South Carolina,
renewing my friendship with 'Jimmy' Cole, of our class,
who alone remained in that locality of the score of Harvard
men who were there in war times."
In 1894 Gilbert became a member of the Massachusetts
Society of the Sons of the American Revolution; he has
served on its board of managers, and has been a delegate
of the State Society at several congresses of the National
Society. When the Harvard Union was organized in 1902,
he became a life-member; he is also a life-member of the
Bostonian Society, and of the Bunker Hill Monument
Association, "my great-grandfather having served with dis-
tinction on that field." He is a member of the Essex
Institute, and is at present secretary of the Old Salem

* JAMES INGERSOLL GRAFTON, son of Joseph and
Maria (Gurley) Grafton, was born in Boston, June 16, 1841.
His father was a major in the United States Army. He
fitted for college at Nazareth, Pa. He left college in No-
vember, 1861, was commissioned, November 1, second
lieutenant in the Second Massachusetts Regiment, and
first lieutenant July 21, 1862. At the battle of Cedar
Mountain, August 9, 1862, he was badly wounded in the
head; and was severely wounded again at Chancellorsville,
May, 1863. He was then a captain, having received his
commission November 9, 1862. The Second was with
Sherman in the march from Atlanta to North Carolina.
At Averysborough, N. C, the first serious opposition to the
movement was encountered; and here, on the morning of
March 16, 1865, Grafton was killed while holding in check,
with a handful of skirmishers, the advancing line of the
enemy. Lieutenant Samuel Storrow (H. C. 1864), also
of the Second, was killed in the same engagement. With
but one exception (E. L. Stevens, H. C. 1863, killed at
Boykins' Mills, S. C, April 18, 1865), these were the last
Harvard men to fall in battle during the War of the Rebellion.
JAMES GREEN, son of James and Elizabeth (Swett)
Green, was bom in Worcester, Mass., March 2, 1841. He
attended the public schools in Worcester, and fitted for
college at the Worcester High School. He writes of himself
as follows:
30 CLASS OF 'SIXTY-TWO — H.U.
"Entering college without condition, I set an example
to myself in scholarship which I have quite failed to live up
to. In school and college I was handicapped by weak eyes
and insuflBcient strength to endure the sedentary life. As
we left college, the War of Secession had been going on for
over a year, and I tried hard to get into the army upon the
terms laid down by our family physician — that I must
not go into the ranks and have to carry a knapsack. By
help of the drill we had had at the Cambridge Arsenal, I
helped, to drill the recruits in some towns out of Worcester,
but I failed to get any place for myself in the army. I was
entered meanwhile as a law student in Dwight Foster's
oflfice in Worcester, and I entered the Harvard Law School,
after being away from Cambridge only a term. The law
school was full of many of the ablest men from Yale and
other colleges as well as Harvard; and while there was a
good deal of hard study in the school, there was little dis-
cipline and no examination, and life was even more agree-
able there than in college. After getting my law degree in
1864, 1 spent a year in law offices in New York City and was
admitted to practice there. Then I travelled in the West
a good part of a year, going as far as to Omaha, which
seemed very far in those days, for only thirty miles of the
Union Pacific Railroad had been built. Coming back to
Worcester I started to practise law, and have been labelled
as a lawyer ever since. In 1872 I was sent abroad for my
health, and stayed in Europe two years and a half till my
father died in the summer of 1874. I lived in Rome three
winters, nine months in all, and as much more time in the
rest of Italy; I went to Greece and as far as to Constanti-
nople, had a month on foot in Switzerland, a few months
more in Germany and Austria, and travelled a little in
France and England. All this time I was very much in-
terested in architecture and the fine arts and modern
languages. These studies were mostly new to me, and they
had a perceptible influence upon my character and after-
life. Three years later I went back to Europe again, and
spent a year in Spain and England. This year intensified
my former interest in modern languages and the fine arts.
Coming home again in 1878, I have lived ever since in
GREEN 31
Worcester, occupied enough in law and the care of real
estate to spoil the possibility of cultivating my new tastes
in any satisfactory way. As a sign, however, that those
new influences were enduring, I would mention that I
joined a little German club, the object of which was reading
and talking in German, about seventeen years ago, and we
have kept the club going ever since. I have also risen to
the shining height of president of our Alliance Frangaise
and to the pinnacle of president of our Worcester Society
of Antiquity, which is our local historical society.
"Not many years after settling down in Worcester, I
belonged to the Commonwealth Club of Boston with Sen-
ator Lodge and other young radicals of that time. I was
for many years a member of the St. Botolph Club, and have
belonged to the Massachusetts Reform Club almost ever
since the first Cleveland campaign.
"At the time of the British war in South Africa, I wrote
a pamphlet on that subject which was circulated freely in
America and England, and was even reprinted by the
British South African Association for further distribution.
I have also written more or less of a biographical nature,
including my recollections of the late Daniel H. Chamber-
lain, governor of South Carolina after the War, and sketches
of our departed classmates, Tom Chadbourne, Coleman,
C. E. Greene and Ker.
"In writing our obituaries, it is usual to show from
whom we are descended, and how far; so I will add that I
am derived from John Tilley and his wife through their
daughter Elizabeth, who all came over on the Mayflower^
and from John Rowland who came with them on this ship
and married the daughter. John's manner of coming over is
thus described in Governor Bradford's "History of Ply-
mouth . " 'In sundrie of these stormes the winds were so f eirce,
& ye seas so high, as they could not beare a knote of saile,
but were forced to hull, for diverce days togither. And
in one of them, as they thus lay at hull, in a mighty storme,
a lustie yonge man (called John Howland) coming upon
some occasion above ye grattings, was, with a seele of ye
shipe throwne into [ye] sea ; but it pleased God yt he caught
hould of ye tope-saile halliards, which hunge over board,
32 CLASS OF ' S I X T Y-T W O — H. U.
& rane out at length; yet he held his hould (though he was
sundrie fadomes under water) till he was hald up by ye
same rope to ye brime of ye water, and then with a boat
hooke & other means got into ye shipe againe, & his life
saved; and though he was something ill with it, yet he lived
many years after, and became a profitable member both
in church & comone weal the."
"After I had been thus boat-hooked into the New World,
I was further descended from Thomas Dudley, the second
governor of Massachusetts Bay; from Rose Dunster,
sister of the first president of Harvard College; from Rev.
John Woodbridge, an Oxford graduate, brother of the first
alumnus named on our Harvard roll; and from Lieut.
Phineas Upham, who was fatally wounded at the storming
of Narragansett Fort in King Philip's War. Captain
Samuel Green, another grandsire, and his son Thomas, were
pioneers of Leicester; Dr. John Green, of the next genera-
tion, was a pioneer of Worcester. He married a daughter
of General Timothy Ruggles, a judge and the president
of the Stamp Act Congress, and the most widely known and
most hated Loyalist of our neighborhood, in the Revolu-
tionary days; while his son-in-law (Dr. Green) was a
rebel beyond hope of pardon.
"Perhaps the most noteworthy fact about my family
is this: Three Dr. John Greens, grandfather, father, and
son, practised medicine continuously in Worcester for
ninety-eight years; if we count in also Dr. Thomas Green,
father of the eldest Dr. John, who lived in our adjoining
town of Leicester, this one continuous line of surgeons and
physicians ministered to this neighborhood for one hundred
and thirty-five years without a break. Of each one of the
four, moreover, it seems to be the unquestioned contempo-
raneous opinion that he was at the head of his profession.
This record of continuous public service is something satis-
factory to contemplate. If my brother. Dr. John Green
of St. Louis, and his son of the same name and place (both
Harvard men), are thought of in connection with these
who preceded them, we have an unbroken record of pro-
fessional service of a high grade for six generations."

CHARLES EDWARD GRINNELL, son of Charles
Andrews and Anna Almy (Cobb) Grinnell, was born in
Baltimore, May 7, 1841. He fitted for college at the
University of Maryland, School of Letters and Sciences, and
at the boarding school of Mr. John Prentiss. He was the

graduation he spent at the divinity school of Yale College.
The following year he entered the Senior class in the Harvard
Divinity School, graduating in July, 1865. Immediately
afterwards he went abroad with his wife, spending a year
as student of theology at Gottingen, and returning to
Boston in October, 1866. On February 19, 1867, he was

He remained here till November, 1869, when he was in-
stalled as pastor of the Harvard Church, Charlestown.
This pastorate he resigned December 31, 1873; but he con-
tinued to preach in various places until August, 1874, when
he retired from the ministry altogether.
In October, 1874, Grinnell entered the Harvard Law

* MAYO WILLIAMSON HAZELTINE, son of Mayo
and Frances A. (Williamson) Hazeltine, was bom in Boston,
April 24, 1841. After graduating, he studied for a while
at Oxford; then returned to New York and practised law
in partnership with Washburn.
In 1878, Hazeltine, "a perfect stranger, submitted to
Mr. Dana, of the New York Sun, certain specimens of book
criticisms and the like, and was at once offered the literary
editorship." His work included the leading book reviews
and many editorial articles, particularly on foreign affairs.
For thirty years he remained in the service of the Sun, "an
indefatigable writer, bringing to his task a store of learning
and of knowledge of mankind almost incredible in its dimen-
sions. He possessed a gift of industry akin to genius;
and a retrospect of his work reveals a mass that would fill
a library. He was a man of admirable personal qualities,
self-contained and retiring in his habits, but sharing freely
in the agreeable associations of life, and endearing himself
to many." Gold win Smith wrote of him: "The impartial-
ity of his judgment was complete. Not to the Sun alone,
but to our whole world of letters, the loss is irreparable."
Hazeltine also did a large amount of writing for the
North American Review and other periodicals. He published
a few books: "Universities at Home and Abroad," " Chats
about Books," "The American Woman in Europe," besides
many smaller books and pamphlets.
He died at Atlantic City, Sept. 14, 1909.

He fitted for college at the Boston Latin School. He was
one of the class crew. He was on the class committee, as
Treasurer, until 1907, when he resigned, his place being
filled by the election of Read. After graduation he enlisted
in Company C, Forty-fourth Massachusetts Regiment,
which served under General Foster in North Carolina. In
January, 1863, he was commissioned first lieutenant. The
regiment was mustered out in June, 1863; and in the fall
HICKLING S7
of that year, Hedge began the study of law in the office of
Whiting and Russell, 35 Court Street, Boston. He at the
same time took the course of study at the Harvard Law
School, receiving his degree of LL.B. in 1866. He was
admitted to the bar in the fall of that year. He has con-
tinued the practice of law until the present time, at first
at 35 Court Street, lately at 950 Tremont Building.
"Outside of my profession, my principal interests have been
centered in the Plymouth Public Library (of which I have
been director and either secretary or president for the past
thirty years) and in the work of the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries,
obtaining my principal recreation each year by making
frequent trips on board the U. S. Fisheries steamer Phala-
nope during the winter months." His residence is in
Plymouth. For over twenty years he has been interested
in the Old Colony Natural History Society of Plymouth;
and he has been secretary of the Boston Provident Associa-

during the Sophomore winter; in the winter of Junior year
he taught in Sudbury, and for six weeks in the winter of
the Senior year had temporary charge of the Houghton
School, Bolton. On leaving college he was for two years
master of the latter school. From July, 1864, to July,
1866, he was master of the Adams (Grammar) School,
Dorchester — at present the Harris School, Boston. This
HOSMER 39
position he resigned and entered the Harvard Divinity
School in September, 1866. On completing his course here
he accepted a call to the First Congregational Church and
Society (Unitarian) in Northborough, Mass., as associate
minister with the venerable Dr. Joseph Allen, and was
ordained by his people without ecclesiastical council,
October 28, 1869.
In July, 1872, Hosmer responded to an urgent call from
the Second Congregational Church (Unitarian) of Quincy,
111. — which had then been for two years without a settled
minister — and entered upon his pastorate the following
October. In April, 1877, he resigned this charge for the
purpose of study and travel abroad. After eighteen months
in Europe he returned to Boston, and the following month
became minister of the Church of the Unity, Cleveland, O.
Hosmer 's Cleveland pastorate covered fourteen years.
From September 1, 1892, to October 1, 1893 (World's Fair
year), he was secretary of the Western Unitarian Conference,
whose headquarters were in Chicago. The following winter
and spring he spent in Colorado and California; and in
June, 1894, he accepted a call to the Church of the Unity,
St. Louis, succeeding in the pastorate his friend, John C.
Learned, who had died six months before. After five years
of service he resigned his pastorate with the intention of
taking a year free from "regular harness," and spent the
autumn of 1899 in his native New England; but in early
January, 1900, he accepted a call to take temporary charge
of the First Unitarian Church, Berkeley, Cal., then sud-
denly left without a minister. This move led to his becom-
ing settled as minister, and he remained in the pastorate until
July 1, 1904, and has since continued to reside in Berkeley.
In the Spring of 1908, by invitation of the faculty,
Hosmer gave before the Harvard Divinity School a course
of ten lectures on Church Hymnody; such a course hav-
ing been provided for by the generous gift of Mr. Horace
S. Sears to the School. In the following June Hosmer was
elected an honorary member of the Harvard Chapter of
the Phi Beta Kappa Society.
Along with occasional sermons and addresses, Hosmer
has published: "The Way of Life: a service book for Sun-

1894; "Unity Hymns and Chorals," in joint editorship
with Mr. Gannett and J. Vila Blake, our classmate, Chicago,

HENRY SHIPPEN HUIDEKOPER, son of Edgar
and Frances (Shippen) Huidekoper, was born in Meadville,
July 17, 1839. He entered college with his brother in
March, 1859. In September, 1862, he was lieutenant-
colonel of the One Hundred and Fiftieth Pennsylvania
Volunteers. He lost his right arm at the battle of Gettys-
burg, where he was in command of his regiment. (He is
now the only graduate of Harvard College who lost a limb
in the service.) February 22, 1864, he was commissioned
colonel; and on March 5, 1864, was discharged on account
of disability from wounds. September 17, 1870, he was
appointed major-general, Twentieth Division National
Guard of Pennsylvania. He is now the senior major-
general, retired, having served as such for eleven years.
In 1874 he published a "Manual of Service'* for the
use of the Guard.
In 1880 Huidekoper was appointed postmaster at
Philadelphia, and served for over five years (under four
presidents and seven postmaster-generals) until November,
1885. Among the measures suggested by him, and adopted
by the Government, were the raising of the unit of weight
for letters from half-an-ounce to one ounce, and the sending
of notices to addressees that letters were held for insuflScient
postage. During his administration, the Philadelphia post-
office had a high reputation. On October 11, 1888, Senator
Chace of Rhode Island said in the Senate: "The Philadel-
phia post office, which had been managed for eight years
by General Huidekoper, was admitted on all hands, I believe,
to have been the best managed post-office in the world, not
even excepting the celebrated London office. General
Huidekoper had conducted his business purely upon civil
service reform principles . There was no charge — there could
be no charge — made of his management of the office. He
was removed .... and the chairman of the Democratic
City Committee of Philadelphia put in his place."
From January, 1886, to January, 1888, Huidekoper was
vice-president and general manager of the Metropolitan
Telephone and Telegraph Company, now the New York
Telephone Company; and since January, 1888, he has been
a special agent of the American Bell Telephone Company,
JEFFRIES 43

was conspicuous, among those living outside of Massa-
chusetts, for the regularity of his attendance at meetings.

monument at Gettysburg in honor of the Pennsylvania
soldiers who fought there. He is the holder of one of the
four congressional medals of honor given to veterans of

and entered the office of N. J. Bradlee, architect. In 1867
he went to New York, and engaged in the practice of his
profession. In 1868 he built the French Theatre, also the
Drexel Building, almost the first of the "fire-proofs." His
work on the completion, renovation, and redecoration of
the Equitable Life Insurance building attracted the atten-
tion of some of the officers of the insurance company, who
were also trustees of Princeton University; and in the Autumn
of 1876 he was appointed to the newly-created chair of
Architecture and Applied Art. ** My classes belong especially
to the students in the John C. Green School of Science, —
our technical branch of the college; and I lecture on art
from the aesthetic point of view to the seniors in the academic
branch as well as those in the school. I have made some
progress, I think, in the technical branch; and my depart-
ment is favorably looked upon. From my professional
training, it was deemed wise that I should have charge of
the material interests of the college; and I divide with the
treasurer the entire care and responsibility, — a heavy
burden, as we have sixty-five acres and forty buildings,
mostly large. I have been the architect, also, of some six
or eight structures for the college of much importance,
one that I hope will prove a model dormitory."
In 1880 Lindsey's health broke down, from overwork
and exposure to the typhoid epidemic at Princeton; and he
resigned his professorship, returning, when health per-
mitted, to the practice of his profession in New York. His
principal work has been upon dwellings, both in the city and
in the country; he has also been the architect of several large
mercantile buildings, such as the Consolidated Exchange,
the building for the American Lithograph Co. — one of
the strongest commercial buildings in the world — and sev-
eral theatres, a department in which he is a recognized
expert. He is also the inventor of an accepted method of
fire-proof construction of floors, etc.
"My Princeton work led me into archaeology and art-
history, and I have given many lectures on these subjects.
48 CLASS OF ' S IXT Y-T W O — H. U.
notably in the New York Public School lecture course. I
occupy myself in my leisiu-e time, as I have for more than
thirty years, in perfecting my multitudinous notes and
collections of illustrations, running into thousands; and it
is my intention as soon as possible to connect myself with
some institution — as professor, if I can — so that I can
have legitimate opportunity to complete something worth
leaving behind me.
"Prof. William R. Ware, George B. Post, and myself
are the oldest living American architects of regular training.'*

claim no other present honors except being Democratic
county chairman, which simply seems to involve labor and
condemnation. It has been, however, I think, a rather unusual
thing, perhaps, in this State, for a so-called Northern man
to receive these honors. I was for some years lieutenant
in the Beaufort Artillery and Naval Reserve, but have with-
drawn from the military." At the time of his death he

On the death of Chapman in 1865, Rogers was chosen a

In 1903 he visited Honolulu, where he met Brigham; Japan
and China, where at Hong Kong he saw Jeffries; thence
home by way of the Straits Settlements, Ceylon, India,
Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Italy, and the Azores, spending
considerable time in each country.
Of his professional activities Rogers writes:
"During my professional career, and especially while
in the activities of admiralty practice, I have been engaged
in many cases of far-reaching importance, especially those
relating to carriage by sea, bills-of-lading, marine insurance,
and kindred subjects.
*'I have been before almost every kind of a tribunal, from
the Municipal Court of our city to the Supreme Court of
the United States. In 1878 I was engaged in a suit for
libel, — perhaps the last case where such a combination of
circumstances could occur, — as counsel for the plaintiff, a
former runaway slave, against a wealthy and prominent
citizen of Boston, defendant, wherein those who had
formerly been slaves in the South were witnesses on
one side or the other. I was also the initiator of the
criminal prosecution for barratry against the captain and
for the indictments against merchants of Boston engaged
in a conspiracy to defraud marine insurance companies,
in the famous case of the Mary Celeste, a cause which
lasted for several weeks and which was conducted with rare
ability by Warren K. Blodgett, Jr., then assistant U. S.
District Attorney (H. U., 1878). In that case I was con-
spicuous by my absence whenever the court was in session.
"My writings have been of a sporadic and ephemeral
character, in the press and elsewhere.
"My life has been and is full of varied interests and of
associations of a somewhat unusual character; from its
variety I believe I have derived a better understanding of
mankind than I should have had if I had confined myself
exclusively to the routine of professional work. Whether this
be so or not, my course was chosen deliberately : my interest
in my profession has never abated, and my delight in travel
grows with my advancing years. Within a twelve month
of this writing, I have visited Yellowstone Park in the
north and Cuba and Panama in the south."

object of the School is to prepare the pupils for the effec-
tive administration of a private home, or to enable them to
earn an independent livelihood.'*

CHARLES CARROLL SOULE, son of Richard Soule
(H. C, 1832) and Harriett (Winsor) Soule, was born in
Boston, June 25, 1842. He fitted for college at the Boston
Latin School and the Brookline High School. While a
Freshman, he was a collaborator on Worcester's Dictionary.
In 1861 he was one of the party of students engaged in the
"River Observations" at Concord, Mass; (others were
Hudson, Nichols, Nye, C. H. Porter, Pritchard, Stone,
Trask, Ware, and G. P. Stevens, 1863). Near the end of his
college course he became captain in the Thirty-third Massa-
chusetts Regiment, but was not mustered into the United
States service. As the regiment filled up very slowly, he
left it in July, 1862, and went to Port Royal, S. C, to over-
see plantations. Hearing of the formation of the Forty-
fourth Massachusetts Regiment, he returned to Boston in
October, enlisted as a private, and on October 22 was com-
missioned second lieutenant in Company B. When the
term of oflSce expired, he joined the Fifty-fifth Massachu-
setts as captain of Company K, and remained with it through
the war. At the battle of Honey Hill, S. C, he received a
slight flesh wound in the arm. From May until August,
1865, he was provost judge and superintendent of freedmen
in South Carolina. The following winter he spent in
Charleston, in the real-estate agency business, returning
in April, 1866. In May he became a clerk with Messrs.
Little, Brown, and Co., Boston. In October, 1869, he went
West, and became the senior partner in the new firm of
Soule, Thomas, and Winsor, law and general booksellers in
St. Louis, Mo. In 1877, during the serious riots in St.
70 CLASS OF 'SIXTY-TWO — H.U.
Louis, lasting a week, Soule commanded, as major, the
"University Club Battalion," which gave valuable assist-
ance to the authorities.
May 1, 1878, Soule accepted an offer of partnership from
Little, Brown, and Co., sold out his interest in St. Louis,
and "emigrated back to Boston." In 1881 he left Little,
Brown and Co., and formed the partnership of Soule and
Bugbee, for publishing, importing, and selUng law books, at
37 Court St., Boston. This partnership expired in 1884,
and Soule continued the same business alone, moving to
the Freeman Place Chapel, 15^ Beacon St. In June, 1890,
he established the Boston Book Co., of which, from the
beginning, he has been the president. The company is now
located on Francis St., near the Harvard Medical School.
"The company has two specialties: law books, and full sets
of periodicals on all subjects and in all languages. It deals
not only in this country, but also in Europe and all the
British Colonies." In 1883 Soule published "The Lawyers*
Reference Manual," a volume of legal bibliography; a
second edition was issued in 1897.
While in St. Louis, Soule wrote two travesties, "as a skit
for the University Club (of which I was a founder) : 'Romeo
and Juliet,' and 'Hamlet Revamped, a Travesty without
a Pun.* They made an unexpected hit for amateur rep-
resentation. I was not proud of their literary quality;
but they seemed to have *go. '"
In 1879 Soule joined the American Library Association,
and has since served actively in its different working oflBces,
"finally taking library architecture as a specialty. On
this subject I have spoken, written, and advised a lot."
Among his publications are "Points of Agreement among
Librarians on Library Architecture," "Library Rooms and
Buildings," and the article "Library" in Russell Sturgis's
Dictionary of Architecture and Building. He is now
(December, 1911) "engaged in preparing a volume on
*How to Plan a Library Building,' to embody my experi-
ence of forty years; which I hope to live to finish and pub-
lish." The book will be published in June, 1912.
For some years Soule has been employed, by library
trustees and others, as an expert adviser on library con-
SOULE 71
struction and equipment: "In this way I have been able
to add considerably to a declining income, by expert service
which seemed to be successful and appreciated; a perhaps
unique example of altruistic work helping one materially
in his old age." A few years ago his advice as to the proper
appropriation for a new library building for Brookline saved
that town about $150,000; and more recently, as one of the
visitors to the Harvard Library, "I have been able to give
some work to Alma Mater, in consulting with the special
board of architects to suggest site and plans for a new building
adequate to the needs and dignity of the University."
Soule reports that he has made over twenty business
trips across the Atlantic: "I have spent in all over a year
of my life in ocean travel, — a good record for a poor sailor.
In 1907 1 visited fourteen countries of Europe, interviewing
leading lawyers and judges. Four months of this, using
ten different languages, was a strenuous polyglot whirl."
About twenty years ago, Soule suffered from a serious
attack of grippe, followed by a severe case of scarlet fever.
He has never been well since. In August, 1910, he had a
stroke of paralysis, from which he has partially recovered;
but he has to give up details of business, "though I am
allowed literary recreation."
Since he returned from St. Louis, Soule has resided in
Brookline, for the last fifteen years and until this spring in
his own house, 45 Warren Street, beautifully situated on the
eastern shore of the old reservoir. He has recently moved
to Wellington Terrace.
Soule married, Oct. 9, 1878, Louise Charless Farwell, of
St. Louis.

business in Boston. He remained there nearly two years.
He then returned to the High School and prepared for
college in two years. Immediately after graduating from
college he went abroad with our lamented Chapman for travel
and further study. After a trip through England, Scotland,
Ireland, and parts of the continent, he went to Gottingen,
entered the university, and studied there nearly an academic
year. Soon after his return, in the summer of 1863, he was
